Because of its small size, Seattle-based indie game company hired outside developers to help with the Xbox 360 title. And some of these people drew penises into the environment. But Undead Labs, supposedly was unaware of the additions because of the resolution of the game and quality of the texture of the backgrounds.

A Microsoft representative told Game Informer: “Undead Labs was not aware of the textures in question until they began the process of exporting textures for State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition, and they are not visible in the original edition of State of Decay.”

(Year-One Edition is an HD update of the game includes some new material and both pieces of downloadable content Breakdown and Lifeline.)

“Undead Labs is no longer working with the contractor in question, and this material will not be present in State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition,” the Microsoft employee added.

But maybe they’ll eventually release an uncensored version of the game – complete with genitalia vegetation.

In an attempt to boost the entertainment side of its Xbox experience, Microsoft has announced 45 new TV, movie and social media apps for the Xbox One and 360 that will launch before the end of the year.

It’s understandable that many of the TV channel apps, such as Comedy Central, ShowTime Anytime and HBO GO would not be available here, as these channels either don’t exist in Canada, or have secured broadcast deals for their programming with Canadian networks.

But the crux of the announcement seemed to adding Twitter-TV integration to the Xbox One.

As Xbox Live’s director of programming Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) explains in the above video, Twitter will be built into the One’s TV guide apps so you can see what TV shows are trending and lets you favourite and retweet tweets about the show you are watching from your own Twitter account.

But for some reason, Twitter is also one the apps not available here.

Similarly the video app Vine, which is owned by Twitter, will also not be coming to Canada. At least, not anytime soon.

Video game legend has it that in 1983, Atari Inc. buried thousands of copies of the huge flop E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, along with unsold computers, consoles and copies of Pac-Man,in a landfill in New Mexico.

There were news stories about it at the time, but details differed. The E.T.-centric aspect is only a theory, and some skeptics have suggested the whole thing is nothing but an urban legend. But now, Microsoft is setting out to discover the truth.

Become a part of gamer history. Unearth the truth behind the ultimate urban legend. We’re excited to announce that the excavation of the long-rumored “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” video game burial site will occur on April 26, 2014 and will be open to the public. Spectators are invited to watch the team uncover the infamous Atari game cartridge grave.

The Atari Corporation – faced with overwhelmingly negative response to the “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” video game – allegedly disposed of millions of unsold game cartridges by burying them in the small town of Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1983. Fuel Entertainment took an interest in the legend, and in December 2013, with help from local garbage contractor Joe Lewandowski, acquired the exclusive rights to excavate the Alamogordo landfill. Fuel Entertainment brought the opportunity to Xbox Entertainment Studios, and now, as part of a documentary series (developed by Xbox Entertainment Studios and two-time Academy Award® winning producer Simon Chinn and Emmy winning producer Jonathan Chinn, through their multi-platform media company, Lightbox), the team will excavate the legendary New Mexico landfill to reveal the true story of Atari’s bizarre burial.

If you’re in Alamogordo on April 26 between 9:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., you can head over and watch live as massive corporations attempt to unearth E.T.

Microsoft, you’ve done gone goofed once again and came off entirely misogynistic in the process.

Earlier Wednesday morning, Microsoft released this “press release” about their latest console, the Xbox One. Intended to be funny, the backlash the company received over it, from both men and women, was overwhelming.
